Do you know the weight of this wheel?

 

[NickP]

Not again

It's a lot smaller than a normal wheel so I would say 5kg.

It is a Seat Sport BBS 18'' wheel..It can't be 5kg..

 

[Mr Cellotape]

put it on your bathroom scales.

The dealer will order it from spain they have no stock and they don't know the weight..

 

[Mr Cellotape]

Could they not weigh it in Spain?

Could they not weigh it in Spain?

Several times I mailed them but the answer was always negative..

 

[Mr Cellotape]

Tell them if they don't tell you they weight you'll buy some different wheels from someone else.

Or ask Seremotors or Irfan if they have any in that they can weigh.

What is it with you and the weight of wheels. I've never seen somebody obsess over the weight of a wheel.

But then it was a joke about the size of the wheel on the screen

Best to go with something designed to be light if you dont want heavy wheels. Team Dynamics do some nice lightweight ones.

I cant see an OEM wheel being anything other than "heavy" as it will need to be strong durable and cheap to make.

 

[jonathanp]

if you want light wheels look at the some of the volk wheels. Some are under 7kg's per rim

I'm hoping to get a set of ce28n's one day

 

[dearly beloved]

But there is not an explanation about the weights...

Jesus, its not going on an F1 car.... are you going to weigh anybody that you take as a passenger as well?

If you are that worried just run it with 4 space savers on I think they weigh about 1KG each...

Just to let you know I've been out and weighed a couple of 18 inch Lico Wheels I have here (as pictured) and some Speedline / Prodrive 18 Inch wheels.

The speedlines weigh in at up to 10KG whilst the Lico ones are 9KG each

I would have thought from experience that a BBS wheel would be somewhere around the weight of these two?

Does know one else on here have a set of the wheels your after?

Still no positive answer...I don't want any change in my car's performance..

Thanks for your help mate..I think the same with you...cause an orginal cupra wheel is about 11 kg so BBS must be lighter than that and it must be around 10kgs each..
